My stay at the lodge was amazing! The host, Gaia, is nice and took good care of us. Harvesting the olives was sometimes hard work, but with a team of five volunteers, it was great fun. The location is beautiful and has exactly what you need. Thank you Gaia for this amazing experience!🫒

Excellent experience. AgriturismoPereti is quiet, very careful, magical and the immersion in nature is total. Gaia is an open, flexible, VERY generous and respectful person:THANKS =)! I went for the olive harvest, which is not a difficult job, you just might end up tired after a long day. There are days when you work longer hours to take advantage of the good weather and it doesn't rain, but those extra hours are compensated. It allowed me to understand and appreciate the work and effort behind olive oil. We formed a GREAT team with Ava, Luisa, Lucas and Cristian, thank you for everything!!= )

I stayed with Gaia for 2 weeks during the olive harvest season. The olive harvest is tiring, we had go take advantage of the days it wasn't raining so there were days that we would work for 8hrs, which when you are doing manual labor can be a bit much. Gaia was very flexible though and communicating with him was very easy. The overtime was compensated

Amazing! I stayed with Gaia for three weeks, and it was great! The work is easy, and Gaia is very understanding. EXCEPT for the olive harvest. Days can be long, and it's important to track your hours so that it can even out. Gaia is respectful of the hours agreed upon and very flexible and accommodating. Not to mention, the photos dont do the property justice- it's gorgeous!!! Thank you, Gaia! Hope to see you again :)

Silas and I have stayed at Gaia's place about 3 weeks and it has been truly amazing. The tasks were varied depending on whether there were guests or not. Most of the work was outside (like gardening and building maintenance) and some where inside (like cleaning and preparing the accommodations for guests). Gaia is a fantastic host who respects working hours and is very flexible to your needs. We were here with 3 other volunteers. It is a very beautiful and remote place so be prepared to entertain yourself in your freetime. All in all we had a great time and can really recomment this place.

My stay at the lodge was such a lovely experience! I learned new things and met wonderful people. The activities were not difficult, and whenever I needed help, Gaia was always happy to explain. He is a kind, understanding, respectful, and friendly host who respects working hours and creates a welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoyed the friendly environment and the opportunity to share this experience with others. This was my first Worldpackers experience, and I feel so lucky to have found this place. I would definitely love to come back!

I spend a month at the lodge with my boyfriend and the experience was truely amazing! We came to learn more about life in Italy and running an the lodge, since we are considering moving to Italy. Gaia was always kind, patient and really welcomed us in his home. He didn't mind our endless stream of questions and happily answered them all. The place itself is magical! We spend many afternoons enjoying the pool and the beautiful surroundings. Because we came with our own car we were free to explore the surrounding towns and nature, which are both amazing. Thank you Gaia for a lovely experience!

My stay at the lodge was amazing! The host and his family are genuinely welcoming and caring, always ready to compromise and find a solution if something's wrong. Gaia is soo kind and always willing to help and show you around. The working hours were always respected and if you find your own system in it, it'll be easy for you even though it can be tough sometimes (mostly because of the heat outside). This place is suitable for everyone who wants to escape their busy life and immerse in the beautiful nature and views. I couldn't have chosen a better place for my first time!

We had an amazing time with Gaia at the lodge, which is a truly special place. We learnt so much from Gaia and hope to take some of his patience, wisdom and kindness home with us. There are small local towns to explore and Gaia was happy for us to accompany him to the local hot springs and lake (and gelateria). I would recommend anyone who is willing to get stuck in to spend some time at the lodge and you will be rewarded!

Charlotte and I had a great three weeks stay at the lodge. Gaia was a really friendly and caring host. Our tasks included preparing rooms for the guests, serving guests, cleaning, gardening, feeding the chickens and other household chores and the working hours were respected. At the time we stayed there, he had an international friends group visiting him where we were involved and could get to know so many kind people. In our freetime we could visit the cute surrounding villages, went hiking and could da little trip to Florence. During our time at the lodge we made so many wonderful memories :)
